About Arthur's Milkbar

Tucked into Kew, Arthur’s Milkbar pairs classic milk bar nostalgia with an elevated, diner-leaning daytime menu. Expect a bustling neighborhood room with 80s indie tracks piping through the speakers and footy fans dropping in for a post-match refuel. The kitchen turns out fluffy, thick-cut ricotta pancakes, brisket-egg-and-cheese rolls, and crisp cubed potato latkes served with sour cream. Keep an eye out on busy weekends—co-owner and Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli often works the floor, greeting families, clearing tables, and running plates of buffalo chicken burgers with hot sauce on the side.

  • Buffalo Chicken Burger

    The Buffalo Chicken Burger was beautifully presented & arranged (meaning my wife could appreciate & enjoy it without it falling apart in her hands & making a mess! ...her words, not mine! 🤣).

  • Potato Latkes

    I also ordered two serves of potato latkes with sour cream. While we make this at home as a traditional family dish, during the year and at Passover, these cubed versions were actually really good!
